By Papercuts Go To PostThe original guy who took the screencaps of the facebook post (Polyh3dron) was permabanned without even posting anything on site with the message "Cheers!".
Like.
JESUS.
I know all about that. I also know who told poly about the facebook post.
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostIf your gonna sign up for Reset, get those receipts. Take no chances.Did the mods nuke their accounts? If not they could just use a "reply to confirm" strategy using GAF PM's.
By tino Go To PostSo far you have the best ban story.Its the perfect representation of what gaf was at the end of its life.
By kulapik Go To PostLike what? Right now the only available receipts are a screenshot of the site with me logged on lolScreencap your colored replies and settings and don't upload them to an image host.

By rvy Go To Postmy only banter with duckroll was Itagaki stuff, he seemed decent
guess not

By MrMephistoX Go To PostVery true I kinda hope Gaming gets
Yeah it's totally bizarre. Inevitably, once the site is back up in earnest I'm wondering if it's just going to get flooded and shut down again in short order to the point that even the gaming side is unusable? After some time though Gamer only forum folks may flock back out of impatience unless they want to re-create thread after thread on SLAENT or other channels and you have to wonder if the same frequency of breaking news will migrate over. Either way it's a fractured community…
It's going to get instantly hammered for sure, from the those seeking justice to those who are mildly curious.
But purging OT to cut out the riff-raff at the pass is smart. Once the initial, second, and perhaps third wave of the onslaught has been endured, It will be much easier to regulate, especially if there is some mechanism like "topic approval."
What it will look like after that? Guess the folks who still care will find out.
By JDSN Go To PostGood to see familiar faces.
I was perma a few years ago (vía mocking anime avatars with duckroll online lol) but the writing was on the wall when a mod told a rape survivor her opinión about rape was unbiased. These kind of creeps always find each other and justify themselves.
was this the opiate/fiction thing or another event?
edit: i see this was answered this thread moves too fast 😅
By Meus Renaissance Go To PostMost of the Moderators I interacted with were understanding, decent and helpful. As the number grew over the years, however, this was no longer true.
There were Moderators there who didn't like particular posters and would use any pretext to ban them. Some of the messages that accompanied a ban were incredibly personal and vindictive.
Haha posting Duckroll is cheating. I always had a love/hate opinion of him and so did a lot of people. He was kind of a character and also had notoriously shit opinions which always made me laugh. I always imagined him as a member who got accidentally given mod powers and nobody noticed. Definitely more rough around the edges than some of the other mods.
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostHe was arrested but I doubt he is currently in jail, hes likely pre trial, though will probably plea out and get a small sentence, or suspended sentence
I'm on my phone and can't find all of it, but he is in jail and is not just getting out. I think his trial got delayed, but must have been settled at this point. Not sure. But he's certainly not out.
By John Dunbar Go To Postam i understanding right that a sizeable number of posters actually enjoyed having to walk on eggshells all the time and seeing people get banned for slightly off-colour jokes?
I didn't walk on eggshells. I'm just not into stirring up shit and when I argue, it's in good faith.
Not to say that there weren't unjust bans, only that the just ones vastly outnumbered them.
So curious to see how this shakes out tonight and in the comming days. I can't in good faith use gaf anymore but it is going to be simply too juicy not to ride the wave of account suicides going for the jugular. Then there's keeping an eye on Resetera out of morbid curiosity, but also with the the vague hope it retains what made gaf good while purging the bad. This place too of course; can't wait to see where it goes. So cozy.

By Ignatz Mouse Go To PostI didn't walk on eggshells. I'm just not into stirring up shit and when I argue, it's in good faith.I agree, I rarely ever felt like I had to walk on eggshell. No website will ever have perfect mods, at least I've never come across one, but Gaf was moderated in a way that it kept out a lot of horrible people.
Not to say that there weren't unjust bans, only that the just ones vastly outnumbered them.
By DY_nasty Go To Posti was scared psy quit :xSame but don't tell him I got a reputation to keep.
By Ref_Fuji Go To PostPpl are too quick to say that resetera will fail but I think it can rebuild over time. Its not like in the old days where forums died and ppl just got lost. Social media is a bigger presence now and will make it easier to rebuild from the ashes.
Every popular forum developed organicly. My money says it won't make it just based on too much planning going into it.

Latest OT anyway, there's a bunch.
On a lighter note XSpike copied the NeoGaf Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Thread. http://slaent.com/thread/1252265/ head on over for a good fighter fix.
After that interview I can't in good conscience go back to GAF with Tyler still attached to it. I will not be a part of supporting a man with sexual assault allegations against him, and he's made it clear he has no remorse, he's doubling down. 6 years and 14,000 or so post history gone just like that.
I like it here. I've been reading this thread though I haven't been participating, I've kind of been waiting to see how things would play out. Nice to see so many faces I recognize from GAF. Not sure how much I'll participate, I lurked on GAF for years before I actually started posting. But I'll be hanging around reading the thread. I'll probably give this resetera a try as well, lost GAF but now I have two forums to visit so maybe that's a win, ultimately.

By John Dunbar Go To Posti distinctly remember that duckroll was once being a dick to me in one of the media create threads, and though i don't remember exactly what it was about i have since maintained that he is the worst person ever.
I'm not being overly sensitive in thinking that guy was a huge dick right
So if you go to the archive of the last time Gaf was up, OT is now completely gone, IDK if thats just because of the archive or what but might be a sign Evilore is actually going to just kill OT and expect things to just remain normal.

By reilo Go To PostSame, i don't know what I would've done with myself.
By rvy Go To Postmy only banter with duckroll was Itagaki stuff, he seemed decentnah fuckdoll was a self-entitled pos, you could tell it from the way he interacted with others. Personally didn't have problems with him, would avoid threads he was in like the plague tho (aside from one thread) and he only banned me once (for a valid reason). Dunno how he was the last two years though but my guess is that he still was a huge twat.
guess not
The one time I caught a ban was one month, right before E3, for replying to some idiot “how old are you?”
In retrospect, I wonder if it wasn’t Opiate or Amir0x trying to eliminate the competition.

I was on a perm warning for ~years~, and that was after my first ban. It's not all that hard to not get banned. :|

One thread, during the 2016 election, Mike Pence made a comment that he enjoyed riding horses. The entire thread then turns into jokes about beastiality.
You and I never spoke much on GAF, but this treatment surprises me as I always valued your posts. Could definitely imagine some posters getting this treatment, but I'm a bit taken aback that you were targeted.
Oh well. Over now.

I was banned just once a long time ago. I don't remember what for, but it was justified. I think I directly insulted someone or something. It was only for a few days I think. That was my only time since joining in 2006.
